It's a typical Savannah day
So I take my guitar to the park and I play
Sitting up under the live oak tree
The strangest feeling came over me
Is this the tree where my brother was hung?
Is this the ground where is body was burnt?
God gave to me the gift of song so I dedicate this one
[chorus]
Superiority, who have you better than me
Wasting precious time on racist mentality
This is only the beginning
because we'll be pushing up daisies in the ending
Spirit knows no colour either you're a hater or a lover

It's a typical Savannah day

So I take my guitar to the park and I play

Sitting up under the live oak tree

Superiority, who have you better than me

Wasting precious time on racist mentality

This is only the beginning

because we'll be pushing up daisies in the ending

Spirit knows no colour either you're a hater or a lover
